You can’t keep a pair of these AirPods in your pocket. Don’t even try.

Looks like a trailer. Most of these concepts are obviously for urban commuting. Guess we’ll see if they ever get rolling.

How does it work? The wiki doesn’t really explain

I kinda feel like if they worked, in the 23 years since originally promised there would have been at least one prototype…

I have always loved the idea of a compressed air car.

Range: Awful

Efficiency: Terrible

Speed: 40ish mph max.

Size: Has to be tiny to make it really work.

Concept: Cool as hell.

It’s nonsense mostly. Compressing air (or any gas) takes energy, with the usual and predicable losses. It’s simply energy storage, like winding a spring, charging a battery, making hydrogen.

It’s a marketing gimmick based on exploiting ignorance of physics.

Iotw sellers are scumbag lying shits.
